If you stay until Sunday morning your ticket will be $250, rather than $800. Hotel costs are $200 per night. Compare the economics with reasonable assumptions for meal expenses. What intangible consequences may dominate the decision?arrow_forwardShin likes to spend a (relatively small) portion of his income on vacations to Cabo San Lucas (a popular resort area in Mexico). On these trips, he either stays at a four-star resort with panoramic ocean views or a more modest, and slightly deteriorating hotel in the noisy part of town. Understandably, the four-star hotel is significantly more expensive. Suppose that the four-star hotel costs $5000/trip while the hotel costs just $500/trip. In recent years, the price of airfare has risen significantly, a change that affects the cost of his trips the same regardless of where he stays. Suppose that airfare has increased from $300/trip to $1000/trip. Why is it that following the higher travel prices, Shin is likely to spend more of his vacations at the four-star resort when he travels? (Assume that the hotel rates and Shin's preferences are fixed).arrow_forward
